Kallara Santhe is Sumana Kithur’s second movie as a director, the first one being Slum Bala. Though this film showcases contemporary issues such as extra-marital affairs, corruption and nepotism among politicians, the director has not succeeded in presenting them very well.
Some of the sequences have strong indications that scriptwriter Agni Sridhar is targeting one particular political party and ignoring others, and the reasons are best known to him.
The film’s narration is a bit slow and makes it somewhat difficult for the audience to sit through the pre-intermission session. The lack of comedy is another lacuna in this film.
However, the film gains momentum in the post-intermission session. Rangayana Raghu’s acting skills make this part a little more interesting.
He has the role of a chief minister in the film. Sudha Belawadi, who has acted as a social welfare minister, has provided good support.
Her gestures are a treat to watch.
The film is about Somu (Yash), a post-graduate student, who wants to commit suicide. The police want to stop him from doing so. A young and energetic TV journalist convinces Somu to explain the reasons behind his decision to take this extreme step. He narrates how he had met Roopa (Haripriya), who mistook him as a dejected person. This led him to consider suicide.
He also says how he failed to get a job even though he passed MA with a first class. Also, a local MLA harassed him when he and Roopa were running a canteen.
Meanwhile, the chief minister (Rangayana Raghu) advises Somu not to commit suicide. In return, Somu asks him to meet five demands.
Yash has tried hard to perform well while Haripriya is charming. She has improved a lot in dialogue delivery. The scene where she tells Yash to ask the chief minister to provide 60x40 BDA site, 20 acres of agricultural land and Rs 20 lakh is a treat to watch. Kishore has played a different kind of character.
Had the director and the scriptwriter taken more care to make the screenplay crisp, the film might have been at par with Aa Dinagalu.
